April/May Newsletter

Sorry, we’re a bit late this time. Blame the balmy spring weather (well, it’s not raining today). When we can drag ourselves away from the garden and the (occasional) sunshine there are many books in the Alchemy Press edit/production room, to be added to the list over the following months. Imminent are:

Evocations by James Brogden, a collection of this fine writer’s horror and weird tales.

Monsters will be published in two editions – the hardcover coming with a special gift! These books will be launched at Edge Lit in Derby this coming July

Also in the pipeline for 2015 are collections from Anne Nicholls, Marion Pitman and others (real goodies in the line up, we promise).

Peter’s appearance a guest speaker at the PowWow Festival of Writing in Birmingham went exceptionally well, as did Jan’s library day at Leek Library, talking to readers and generally spreading the word. In non-fantasy arena, we took Peter’s daughter and new son-in-law on a hike along the top of the Staffordshire Roaches last week. Very invigorating – go and visit if you’re ever in the area.

Events for your diary:

30 May: Conan Doyle Con The City Tavern, Birmingham: Jan Edwards will be a guest speaker.

6 June: Leominster Book Fair (Leominster Festival Meet the Authors) in the John Abel Room, Grange Court, Leominster, where The Alchemy Press will be a part of the Leominster Arts week.

Invent-10n by Rod Rees. A short dystopian novel set in 2030 that follows the story of Jenni-Fur and Sebastian and the invention of a power source that will solve all our energy issues; or will it?

Finally, for now, Peter will be editing/producing the FantasyCon 2015 souvenir book. He is currently soliciting contents (articles, stories, etc), but if you have anything you think would be appropriate for the convention, get in touch.
